Hello, Team B!. You may recall that at the end of the October f2f meeting in Seattle, Gregg and Makoto were given an action to develop a proposal about pronunciation. (Quick background: The May 2005 proposal for GL 3.1 included a proposed SC about pronunciation. The proposal was rejected at the Brussels f2f (June 2005) and the rejection was ratified on the call following the Brussels meeting. However, the issue was raised again at the October f2f during the discussion of JIS comments, and the action was assigned to Gregg and Makoto. This proposal is the result.) It comes to Team B because we're "responsible" for GL 3.1, so we should review and then send it to the WG for survey next week if possible. This message includes only the proposed wording for the SC, plus links to the proposed How to Meet 3.1.6 document and a sufficient HTML technique. Proposed wording for SC 3.1.6 <proposed> 3.1.6 A Mechanism is available for identifying specific pronunciation of words where meaning cannot be determined without pronunciation. (Level 3) </proposed> How to Meet 3.1.6 http://trace.wisc.edu/wcag_wiki/index.php?title=How_to_Meet_Success_Crit erion_3.1.6 (Note that there is still some discussion about wording in the Intent section, but the document in the WIKI is ready for review.) The HTML technique is called "Using the Ruby element" http://trace.wisc.edu/wcag_wiki/index.php?title=Using_the_ruby_element Thanks much, JOhn "Good design is accessible design."
